eCS 2.1 yum update urlgrabber problem

<< < (2/2)

Silvan Scherrer:
Mark,

is your urlgrabber directory really uppercase? If yes why did you uppercase that while copying?
If you set it to lowercase all should work.

regards
Silvan

Strange problems for an OS with case-insensitive file system.

FAT is a case-insensitive file system, but you can't install the .rpm packages on it. The OS works usually caseless. But e.g. Web servers and C compilers are case-sensitive. There exists no requirement that a subsystem must handle files caseless internally. Of course, if there's a user interface (like YUM), it should work like the base OS.

mwizard:
Changing the directory to lower case did indeed solve the problem. 

For what its worth, this is on a HPFS formatted disk.

Thanks everyone for their help.  I'll have to keep the case of the directory and file names in my mind as I work with yum and all related.
